it rained
the whole long day
and all the night before
we found out…
you would have liked
the pathetic fallacy
of it all
i think
too soon
too soon
too soon
you
you were supposed
to leave last of all of us
you were the smallest of us
the one with
the loudest voice of us
you were meant
to close the door
and turn out the lights
how angry that it was now
that there was no more time
oh you would have railed
and so best you never knew
how pleased would you be
that Morpheus came
quietly in the night
to take you on your way
softly through the dream
and
onward
onward
onward
but how do we grieve
when the space you filled
still holds your shape
still carries your scent
like a shadow lingering
after the form has moved on
there you are in memory
there you are in art
there you are in
painfully, honest words
right in front of me
and gone
No… she was always so kind to me. I’m so sorry
Very sad news today. April will be missed. My heart gors out to all of her family and friends.
Such beautiful words Peter. ❤️
I am a work colleague of April’s and her friend. I am so sorry for your loss. She talked about you often. We were just out for beers 2 Fridays ago and we always enjoyed each other’s company, in and outside work. Please accept my deepest condolences. I am very much in shock as I am sure you all must be. I am so sad about April’s passing. Please take care of yourselves.
Thank you VERY much. It is appreciated.
Very sad day for all..hugs and prayers to everyone
I am so sorry to hear about April’s passing. We went to University together and unfortunately lost touch over the years. She was genuine and kind friend. I am so sorry for your loss and I am thinking of you and your family.
